` rMPRovnMz-NT EMD-'FLOWS The Schedule referred tov in these LettersPatent an making part of the saine.A I

The nature of my invention consists in combining a.

large double propelling-wheel, 'going before, and a-plow fixture, whichswings freely; by iron strips, connected with the wheel by the ends ofthe axle, as pivots, which combination results insseveral decidedlyadvantageous features, as, for example, the plow is entirely under thecontrol of the operator, working with mathematical precision, and alllthe simplicitf.r of a common wheelbarrow, the shovel invariablyfollowing the wheel whereever it is'pushed. The shovel is not liable tojump out, but goes on doing its uniform work, unaffected ,The wheel,being double, travels equally on all kinds of ground,

whetherlevel, a furrow, a sharp ridge, or an edge.

The final eiect of this combination is a much more reliable and usefularticle than any machine yet submitted to the public. v

To enable mechanics to make and use my invention, I will proceed todescsibe it more in detail.

No. l is the wheel, thirty inches high, with. spokes and rim, on aturned hub, live inches thick and six inches long; two Asimilarwheelsbeing set, one on each en'd of the huh, making a double whee1wood.

No. 2 are wooden side strips, bolted to the' beam, and holding thewheelby a bolt or axle.

No. 3 is a wooden beam, four feetlong, two bythree inches thick, with 'amortise ata, for -the tenon b'to slide in. i l

No. 4 is a transverse lever or handle, two feet long, to push by, eitherwith hands or hands and body. No. 5 is a slender .elastic spring,(wooden,) with a mortise, b, which puts a slight pressure, if needed, onthe plow-ixture, without interfering with the free motion of theshovel-part.

No. 6 is a long tenon, with vpin-holes and pins, 7, to change up anddown at pleasure, the upper pin being always on top of the beam, to liftthe 'plow by, Svc.'

No. 7, string connecting theiron pins.

No. 8 is the plow-stock, two by three inches, circular, to correspondwith shape of wheel. v

N o. 9 are iron strips,.riveted on wood at one end,

and. running forward, on each side of the Wheel,'to the axle, being bentto suit the width ofthe wheel.

No. 10 is the iron shovel, eight by five inches, rounded backward tonearly a semicircle, and well pointed.

No. 1l, a short piece of wood, framed into the stock.

Whilst I have invented the whole plow, in all-its' Parts f 'Wliat Iclaim as'new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl Thecombination of two wheels, 1, going before, and

ai single plow, 10, together with a pivoted and adjustable beam,'3, andspring, 5, arranged in the manner described, and for the purpose setforth. A l
